Fangzhou Liu

Fangzhou Liu is currently a Professor at the Research Institute of Intelligent Control and Systems, School of Astronautics, Harbin Institute of Technology, China (2022–Present). He previously held a postdoctoral position (2019–2022) and completed his PhD (2014–2019) at the Chair of Automatic Control Engineering, Technische Universität München, Germany. His academic journey includes a visiting PhD stint at the University of Groningen (2018) and degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology: M.Sc. (2012–2014) and B.Sc. (2008–2012) in Control Science and Engineering.

Research Interests: Focus on control of complex systems, including diffusion processes over complex networks, opinion dynamics, networked control systems, model predictive control, and sliding mode control. Key themes: large-scale systems, dynamic optimization, and robust control.

Publication Trends: Recent works emphasize robotic control (reinforcement learning, barrier functions), switched systems (parameter estimation, identification), and epidemic modeling (deep transfer learning for forecasting). Collaborations with Martin Buss and others span robotics, control algorithms, and optimization.

Awards:

• PhD Award 2019 of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Labs & Teams: Affiliated with the Chair of Automatic Control Engineering (Technische Universität München) and Harbin Institute of Technology’s Research Institute of Intelligent Control and Systems. Collaborates on projects involving intelligent control, robotics, and networked systems.
